Materials Data on InC6(NCl3)2 by Materials Project
InC6(NCl3)2 is Protactinium structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/acd space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of sixteen InC6(NCl3)2 clusters. In3+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of In–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.43–3.10 Å. There are three inequivalent C+1.50+ sites. In the first C+1.50+ site, C+1.50+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. The C–N bond length is 1.20 Å. In the second C+1.50+ site, C+1.50+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one C+1.50+ and one Cl1- atom. The C–C bond length is 1.22 Å. The C–Cl bond length is 1.62 Å. In the third C+1.50+ site, C+1.50+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one C+1.50+ and one N3- atom. The C–N bond length is 1.30 Å. N3- is bonded in a linear geometry to two C+1.50+ atoms. There are three inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one In3+ and one C+1.50+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one In3+ atom. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one In3+ atom.
